Eric Clapton's version of Tulsa Time
Written by Danny Flower; first made famous by Don Williams (Academy of Country Music single of the Year award). (GhostHost)
- well, I left Oklahoma
Driving in a Po-ontiac,
Just about to lo-ose my mind.
I was going to Arizona,
'n' O-on to California
Where people all livin' so fine.
My ma-amma called me crazy,
My ba-aby said I'm lazy,
But I'm gonna show 'em a-all this time
Cause you know I ain't no fool an'
I don't need no more damn scho-olin'.
I was born to ju-ust wa-alk the line.
Livin' on Tulsa time.
Livin' on Tulsa time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
Cause you know that I've been through it.
Livin' on Tulsa time.
So there I was in Hollywood,
Thinkin' I was doing good,
Talkin' on the telephone line.
They don't want me in the movies
And no-obody si-ings my songs;
My mamma says my baby's doing fine.
So-o then I started thinkin',
Guess I got to drinkin'
Re-eally had a flash this time.
See, I had no business leaving
(so) No-obody would be grieving;
I'm livin' on Tu-ulsa time.
Livin' on Tulsa time.
Livin' on Tulsa time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
Cause you know that I've been through it.
Livin' on Tulsa time.
